Ethics without pragmatism and morality not realistic are free? Even worse: are counterproductive? Lose all value, values without power or effectiveness to be done? These are eternal questions that have caused bitter discussions and debates irreconcilables.
In this respect, Ramon Valls had a clear position taken:"It can be clearly perceived that Politics without Ethics comes to be cruel and frighteningly unjust. However it is equally so that Ethics without Politics is reduced to celestial music. It degrades the moralizing to immoral because its sermon is ineffective in causing the good in this world".
The conscious, willful distancing from the model of "we" in the church, classes, civil society, the agglomeration of "‘I’s" or the culture-nation (and its supporters) was key in the later evolution of Ramon Valls. We have also seen that these four rejections were firmly rooted in his agonist vision of human nature and the fears and dangers associated with it.
For a realistic pragmatist, convinced of human agonsim, as was Valls, moralism (not morality or ethics) is a total error. Valls thinks that moralism is necessarily naive and inefficient because it proposes a world and humanity which denies its agonist condition, or at least as if this condition could be overcome by limits, penance or will.
